So I realize that there has been a thread started with UMich versus UPenn.
I'm not starting this thread to duplicate it, even though I'm in the same situation and am having a hard time with the decision.
I was just wondering if any current UMich or UPenn d-students could tell me about their experiences at their respective university so I could determine which school would be a better fit for me.

For example:
What do you like/dislike about the school?
What is the class/test schedule like?
Do you have any trouble getting enough patients/clinical experience?
Specialization rate?
How much free time do you have on your hands?
Overall, how happy are you?

Research is fun, but it's not a priority to me. I am taking into account that I would save at least $10,000 a year if I went to UMich, and the fact I would be closer to my significant other if I chose UPenn, but I would appreciate any input anybody can offer. Thanks in advance!

p.s. I don't mind the weather at all and I like both locations. I'll be freezing either way!
